If contested claims that black students were turned away from a party due to their skin color are true, for example, that is outrageous. If any discrete group of students is ever discriminated against, or disproportionately victimized by campus crime, or graded more harshly by professors, then of course students should protest and remedies should be implemented.

Tue, 10 Nov 2015 01:10:54 +0000http://andrewhofer.com/blog/?p=515#comment-254939RE: Real Estate has been around a lot loengr than just the past ten years. In the past ten years people have had the luxury of selling property for premium prices. That hasn’t always been the case. in the past forty years that I can recall there have always been short sales, and REOs. The difference today is the glut of underwater mortgage payers. Millions of people have lost billions of dollars in this country. Trillions of dollars have been lost globally. The bubble is still expanding in what Wall Street calls the emerging markets of China, India, and South America. In a very short amount of time the plug will be pulled there as people wise up. In my opinion more people should stop paying credit card debt, or pay mortgages with credit cards until the bill is high enough that bankruptcy is an option. Here’s a very pet peave I have about all the blame on consumers. It has always been common knowledge in the real estate community, always, that if you put 20% down, on a mortgage at 8% interest, you should be able to rent the property for the mortgage payment. Let’s be extremely generous and say a 6% mortgage. How does that pencil for Real Estate prices? What difference does a tax credit, or rebate, or lower than normal interest rates have to do with the value of property? The second thing is we added, millions of housing units, millions, and we have the ability to add millions more, in less than six months. How was there ever any talk about a lack of supply, and yet builders are floating that BS today. Builders stopped building so that means the millions of housing units that we already threw up just disappeared, so you better jump in before prices start to sky rocket again. I would have never figured 50% off, but that 80% off peak pricing is looking more realistic by the day. Rate this comment: 0 0

I don’t mean to be hard on Christakis, he bravely put himself in a very difficult situation that few could handle. As for the students, I see their pain and frustration. That doesn’t make what they are doing right, but I can see it in that light. Derision doesn’t get us anywhere.

Fri, 09 Oct 2015 05:24:22 +0000http://andrewhofer.com/blog/?p=578#comment-251140hermione98765 / This question bliscalay is looking to see if you should itemize your deductions or take the standard deduction.When you itemize, one of the things itemized is how much in taxes you paid to the states last year. They can figure out how much you paid from your paystub. They also want to know though, if you owed any money on your 2006 tax return that you paid then, because that counts towards income taxes paid in 2007 for itemized deduction purposes.So what this question is asking is:- Did you owe any income tax on last years return that you paid.- Did you pay any back income taxes on last years return.- The key is that it’s *state* income taxes. They don’t care whether you owed / paid any federal income tax last year.Nothing too sinister.

I get the idea that you put the link for the RSS into their system, and attach it to an account, but I don’t think I can syndicate it for you.If you put it into the LJ system, I will be a very happy camper, because I can view it in my Friends page and stalk you there, too.

Fri, 09 Oct 2015 05:03:09 +0000http://andrewhofer.com/blog/?p=339#comment-251130Though I understand your point of view, I am way too close to the edge to not know that that, “free,” money is going to be a life saver for those who are out pouidnng the beat looking for jobs from shop to factory and have nothing to feed our family with these days. I know…we support my son and his family while they wait for SSD after a horrendous accident that left him unable to work. His wife works at Micky Ds since she lost her job.We are thankful this Christmas that my husband is still working and that I am available to be grandma after school and some evenings. God has given us thatgift.
